texte = --=====================_147323296==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I agree, both are interesting concepts. I think an online "demo" and test area, created in WebDNA that allows visitors to make things in WebDNA would be a neat demo. Have a database creation tool, a query tool, a tool that makes a simple form, a simple shopping cart, etc. Wow, that could be a powerful selling point. The CD thing might work as well - however you have to have it configured for the various OS's meaning different CD's or a CD that first detects the installed OS upon boot, plus - and I'm naive here, but if you boot to a CD then you must be in some OS environment that is on that CD. Do they put a faux Windows or Linux system or what? Can we guarantee that it would run on most (all) computers? How about the server - how do you boot to a CD and then have a server auto-magically set up (especially if I didn't have one already)? Things that may be simple to do, I don't know...seems complicated to me however. Just my thoughts.

It would be great -- a lot better than what's available
now -- but no good for physical distributions and therefore
not so effective for marketing. Besides, people don't
always want to be online, and if they develop something
they like they probably want to see it running on their own
computers -- if for no other reason than to be sure it's
actually going to work in their homes or offices like it
*appeared* to work online.
No, my concept won't work online. Yours is a good idea but
it serves a very different purpose. My concept must be a
physical item that's pre-configured with everything ready
to go on the individual's computer -- so he can see and
work on it on his own machine -- that's the key here.
Sincerely,

It would be great -- a lot better than what's available
now -- but no good for physical distributions and therefore
not so effective for marketing. Besides, people don't
always want to be online, and if they develop something
they like they probably want to see it running on their own
computers -- if for no other reason than to be sure it's

No, my concept won't work online. Yours is a good idea but
it serves a very different purpose. My concept must be a
physical item that's pre-configured with everything ready
to go on the individual's computer -- so he can see and
work on it on his own machine -- that's the key here.
